Trade Agreements

“In Congress, I will stand up for New Mexican workers and champion fair trade deals that protect both our jobs, working conditions and the environment. I will also fight against Republicans’ attacks on workers, and challenge the constitutionality of the National Right-to-Work Act, which would penalize workers and lower wages.”

We must fight to protect New Mexico’s workers’ rights and their jobs by challenging unfair trade deals and practices. While trade is important to our economy, too often, multinational trade deals have not done enough to protect workers. Historically, we have seen too many trade deals lower the labor and environmental standards that we deserve.

Having taught courses on trade agreements at the law school, Antoinette understands that fighting for fair trade deals is fundamentally about fighting for American jobs, workers’ standards of living and building a sustainable economy that benefits us all. Antoinette believes that trading with other nations cannot come at the expense of our workers, environmental standards, or consumer standards. In Congress, Antoinette will oppose any and all trade deals that don’t put the interests of workers first and those that don’t prioritize combating climate change.
